Do These Scenarios Sound Familiar?

Lack of Mobile Friendly or Accessible Design: You've read the articles and blog posts about the importance of websites being mobile-friendly and accessible to all patrons. And your current website, well, isn't.

Lack of Authority: You'd love to control your website, but policies in place restrict editing and control. You have to go through several layers to make any changes, and that takes time – sometimes too much time.

Lack of Library Integrations:How do you embed library-specific widgets and add book cover art images? Forget about integrating an A-Z list with filtering options, discovery system or catalog search boxes.

Not Everyone Knows HTML: Your website CMS isn't easy to use and your colleagues want to contribute content to it easily and quickly...without having to know HTML and CSS.

Costs - Time & Money: You're always asked to do more with less. Your library website is the "main entrance" to all your online services, yet building and maintaining an effective website takes a lot of time and a lot of money.
